I have an exercise for you by way of illustration. Remember the last Hollywood film you saw? Odds are it starred A Big Name as a gruff, macho but sensitive-at-heart hero out to bust the bad guys, even if that means not always playing by the rules.

About 10 minutes into the film, odds are he glanced across the room to catch a glance of an (intelligent, independent and beautiful) girl, doubtless played by Another Big Name.

Now. Fast forward 90 minutes. It's the final shot, and what is it? Yep, Gruff-but-sensitive is locked in a passionate embrace with Sexy-and-intelligent, probably amidst the melee of destruction caused by the aforementioned bad-guy busting. Then we fade to black. The music swells. An angel in Heaven sheds a tear. Universal's chief exec sleeps happily atop his millions. The cycle of life continues...

Srsly. Any Hollywood film - watch for "The Glance" 10 minutes in. Then see what the final shot is.
